3 b. Registrar Information: ICANN Rule 3(b)(vii). i. Registrar s Name: GODADDY.COM, INC. ii. Registrar Address: N. Hayden Rd. Suite 219 Scottsdale, AZ iii. Telephone Number: (480) iv.

The following Registered Trademarks are owned by Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING and are in use by Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING in connection with its on-going business activities. The curt-mfg.com domain name as well as the text and logo used at the website are confusingly similar, tarnish and dilute the following mark: Trademark Registration No. Goods CURT 3,153,311 Vehicle towing apparatus and structural parts therefor, namely, ball mounts, hitch balls, trailer hitch receivers, hitch bars, goose neck hitches, fifth wheel hitches, hitch plates, folding hitches, towable bike racks, hitch locks, coupler locks, tow hooks, tow hook mounts, tow straps, tow strap mounts, clevis pin mounts, pintle hooks, torsion hitch kits comprised essentially of receiver tubing, couplers, hitch plugs, and tow bars. See Exhibit B. 5. FACTUAL AND LEGAL GROUNDS This Complaint is based on the following factual and legal grounds: ICANN Rule 3(b)(ix). a) The domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights. Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING is in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing vehicle towing equipment, with its primary business location in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING has used the CURT mark on its products since at least As its primary website used in its business beginning in at least 1997, Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING operates b. The Respondent (domain-name holder) should be considered as having no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name that is the subject of the complaint. Respondent has recently begun operating a website at the offending domain, which resolves to the homepage attached as Exhibit C. The homepage of the offending website starts by confusingly identifying itself as Curt Manufacturing Inc., Eau Claire WI. Metatags on the webpage confusingly list Curt. The main content of the offending website disparages Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING s products. No where on

4 the offending website does it correctly identify the source of the commentary. At the bottom of homepage of the offending website, Respondent uses a confusing similar and disparaging logo to the logo used by Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING. Due to similarity between and the offending domain name is likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake, and to deceive as to the affiliation, connection, or association of Respondent with Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING. The content of the website of the offending domain name is likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake, and to deceive as to the origin, sponsorship, or approval of Respondent's comments or commercial activities by Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING. Respondent s intent is clearly to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING s mark and reputation, possibly making commercial gain through class action or other litigation. Respondents is not using the offending domain name in connection with any bona fide offering of goods or services, and has no legitimate noncommercial or fair use for the curt-mfg.com domain name. Respondent s only use is to confuse customers and prospective customers of Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING who mistype or who otherwise show initial interest confusion in mistakenly going to Respondent s website. c. The domain name should be considered as having been registered and being used in bad faith. By using the domain name, Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, possibly for commercial gain, Internet users to Respondent s website, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant s mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of Respondent s website or comments. ICANN Rule 3(b)(ix)(3); ICANN Policy 4(a)(iii). The Curt Manufacturing Inc. name and Eau Claire, WI location at the top of the homepage, the Curt metatags used, the text of the homepage, and the logo at the bottom of the webpage demonstrate that Respondent is attempting to confuse Internet users, all without correctly identifying the source of the commentary on the webpage. 6. REMEDY SOUGHT The Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING requests that the Panel issue a decision that the domain-name registration be transferred to CURT MANUFACTURING. ICANN Rule 3(b)(x); ICANN Policy 4(i). 7. OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS No other legal proceedings have been commenced or terminated in connection with or relating to the domain name that is the subject of the complaint. ICANN Rule 3(b)(xi). 8.

5 9. MUTUAL JURISDICTION The Complainant CURT MANUFACTURING will submit, with respect to any challenges to a decision in the administrative proceeding canceling or transferring the domain name, to the location of the principal office of the concerned registrar. ICANN Rule 3(b)(xiii). 10.
